Fish identification help

[jasonjoo]

Hey folks,

I just got back from Dana Point Harbor with 2 small catches. Being new to fishing, I really have no idea what kind of fish this is. I'll post some pictures up, but in brief:

I went around 9:30PM during the low tide and used squid as bait. Tied a 1.5 oz. sinker to the end of the line, and a hook about 24" away. I cut up the squid into 1" pieces.

At first, I was casting further into the harbor without much luck. Caught a ray/skate over the weekend by casting further into the harbor. Today I tried the same thing without much luck, but decided to cast into the shallower end and was able to catch this fish:

Can someone please help me identify this fish?

Also, are there any other techniques associated with fishing in a harbor (or if you have direct experience with Dana Point Harbor, have any pointers?)

Well thanks for reading. I may head out again tomorrow an hour or two before high tide to test out my luck.

Thanks,

Jason
